據(jù)彭博社5月18日消息：盡管冠狀病毒在亞洲部分地區(qū)卷土重來，但由于美國等主要地區(qū)的需求前景樂觀，石油仍上漲至近兩年高點(diǎn)。

　　紐約期貨交易價(jià)格接近每桶66美元，此前兩個(gè)交易日上漲近4%。美國機(jī)場的乘客數(shù)量躍升至大流行開始以來的最高水平，這表明國內(nèi)旅行的復(fù)興正在加劇燃油消耗。

　　隨著疫苗接種工作在主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體加速進(jìn)行并提高流動(dòng)性，人們樂觀地認(rèn)為燃料需求將會(huì)增加，今年石油價(jià)格上漲超過35%。然而，印度災(zāi)難性的疫情爆發(fā)新疫情提醒人們，復(fù)蘇將是不平衡和忐忑的。

　　布倫特原油現(xiàn)貨溢價(jià)為每桶32美分，這是一個(gè)看漲的結(jié)構(gòu)，因?yàn)榻诤霞s比遠(yuǎn)期合約更貴。相比之下，一周前為18美分。

　　美國運(yùn)輸安全管理局的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，周日通過美國機(jī)場安檢的乘客激增至185萬人，為2020年3月初以來的最高水平。過去一個(gè)月，通過航站樓的游客數(shù)量穩(wěn)步攀升，目前僅比2019年同期看到的水平低30%左右。

　　Oil Steady Near Two-Year High on Improving U.S. Demand Outlook

　　Oil held gains near a two-year high with optimism building about the demand outlook in key regions such as the U.S., even as the coronavirus makes a comeback in parts of Asia.

　　Futures in New York traded near $66 a barrel after rising almost 4% over the previous two sessions. The number of passengers at U.S. airports jumped to the highest since the pandemic began, a sign of the domestic travel revival that’s boosting fuel consumption. The rebound in America along with China and parts of Europe is offsetting concerns around weaker consumption in India.

　　Oil is up more than 35% this year amid optimism fuel demand will increase as the vaccination drive accelerates across major economies and boosts mobility. The devastating resurgence in India is a reminder that the recovery is going to be uneven and bumpy.

　　The prompt timespread for Brent was 32 cents a barrel in backwardation -- a bullish structure were near-dated contracts are more expensive than later-dated ones. That compares with 18 cents a week earlier.

　　Passengers checking in through security at U.S. airports surged to 1.85 million on Sunday, the highest since early March 2020, according to Transportation Security Administration data. The flurry of travelers making their way through terminals has steadily climbed for the past month and is now only about 30% lower than levels the TSA saw at the same time in 2019.
